US firm Antigenics has initiated a clinical study of AG-702 for herpessimplex virus type 2 (HSV-2 or genital herpes) at the University of Washington Virology Research Clinic in Seattle.

The dose-escalation study will enroll 40 patients, one-half of whom have evidence of prior infection. The primary study objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of AG-702 in preventing and treating HSV-2. Another study objective is to determine if immunization with AG-702 can induce or boost immunity to HSV-2, the company says.
